specifications

PhoneBook is a small Windows application designed specifically for helping you store all your phone numbers in a single working environment.

The advantages of being portable

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to store all your phone numbers on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Simple looks

You are welcomed by a clean feature lineup that integrates only a few configuration settings that you can play with. All the program’s functions are embedded in a single window, so tweaking the dedicated parameters proves to be an easy task.

Adding phone numbers to the database

PhoneBook gives you the possibility to insert a new contact by providing details about its name, entering the phone number, as well as adding user-defined comments.

The tool doesn’t display all phone numbers with the aid of a list. However, it embeds handy buttons in the main window for helping you go to the previous or next entry, create a new contact, carry out search operations, as well as delete contacts.

Performance

There’s no support for many configuration settings, so even less experienced users can make the most out of this program in no time. Tests have shown that PhoneBook carries out a task quickly and without errors. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

Bottom line

To sum things up, PhoneBook comes bundled with basic features for helping you store all your phone numbers. On the downside, you are not given the option to create backups, encrypt the program with the aid of a master password, provide detailed information about each contact (e.g. home address, email address, hobbies, photos), and use hotkeys.
